Does anyone out there still use XLISP? I am working on version 1.6 of
XLISP for both the Macintosh and MS-DOS and am looking for input from
current users as to what features are needed in the new version. If you
have written any extensions to XLISP yourself and are willing to contribute
them to the free version, I would be happy to examine them and consider
them for inclusion in 1.6. Has XLISP outlived its usefulness now that there
are many commercial (and inexpensive) versions of Lisp on the market?
Thanks in advance for any input,
David Betz

I still use XLISP (1.4) for manipulating tonerows and such. While it is
neither speedy nor integrated with the Mac ToolBox, it's standard enough to
allow programs written in it to be dragged onto the Vax when speed becomes a
factor. It's also free, and that's important to my income bracket.

I tried to send this as a reply to the person who sent the original request,
but the news software didn't get the return address right and I got an error
from the mailer. If anyone wants a copy of XLISP for the Macintosh, you can
get source, executable and documentation on a single Macintosh disk. Just
send a formatted disk and a stamped, self-addressed return mailer to:

P.S. PLEASE make sure you send a STAMPED return mailer. I don't return disks
that come without return postage.
